Vaulter Jerry Cahill on upswing after his double lung transplant
Rob Jerome graciously writes: “Thought you might like this update on NYC Masters Pole Vaulter Jerry Cahill 3 months after a double lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis. Inspirational guy. Already back to running.” Rob shared link to video, which has the description: “For 56 years, Jerry Cahill has courageously battled cystic fibrosis while awaiting a life-saving double-lung transplant. In May 2012, Jerry got the call. A new pair of lungs had become available. As a testament to his courage and dogged perseverance, Jerry crossed the finish line at the 2012 Boomer’s Run to Breathe 10K – barely three months removed from his transplant surgery. Now, for the first time since that surgery, Jerry opens up about life before and after receiving a new set of lungs.”
